What language is Nuba? translocative identities in the Sudanese Nuba Australian diaspora

This chapter guides readers back to the need for a critical understanding of how language co-constitutes identity, and importantly how the ‘translocal’ intersects with global flows and transmigration. Drawing on intercultural relationships and dialogues with Nuba women in Australia, the chapter problematizes shifting and sometimes fictive national and ethnic boundaries. Importantly, it encourages those involved in resettlement to work harder toward providing opportunities for the South Sudanese diaspora living in this region and elsewhere to make self-determined choices about community language maintenance and preservation.
